1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Gastroparesis is characterized by a constellation of upper gastrointestinal symptoms in association with delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical outlet obstruction from the stomach. Major symptoms are nausea, vomiting, early satiety or postprandial fullness, bloating, and abdominal or epigastric pain. Idiopathic, diabetic, and postsurgical causes represent the most common etiologies. Diagnostic procedures for the evaluation of gastroparesis comprise gastric emptying scintigraphy (gold standard), (13)C-octanoate breath testing, and a wireless motility capsule. Management of gastroparesis includes normalization of nutritional state, relief of symptoms, glycemic control, and improvement of gastric emptying. Medical treatment entails use of prokinetic drugs, which are currently the first-line therapy. Nausea and vomiting might be positively influenced by antiemetic drugs. Gastric electronic stimulation and surgical interventions should be used in well-defined patients and represent a therapeutic option in tertiary centers.
